quite a sensation, which was en-
hanced when Mortimer l.. White
head, of New Jersey, the national

4 special despatch from ST. Louis,
| Mo. saws: Ernest Kuestner, OF
Brauufels, Tex, one of the largest
wool growers in the State, has this
to say in behais of the Texas wool
[ interest on the Cleveland proposition
| 10 admit wool free: Should the
gates bc let down and foreign wool
/ be admitted free, or the present tariff
materially reduced, the rum of every
sheep man west of the Missouri river
/ would follow, and we of Texas would
/ be the greatest and most immediate
sufferers. The farmers II Missouri
I Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and the East
ern States generally would suffer,
but not nearly to the same extent.
The reason OF this is that III the East
ern States none but fine breeds of
sheep are raised TIE wool is wash
ed. and Is generally far better than
that from the sheep ranges of the
West. The result of a reduction Of
the tariff would be the flooding of
the market with an immense quantity
of South American wool, the Argen
tine Republic being one of the great
est sheep countries in the world
These sheep, like those of our West
ern ranches, roam at large and are
not carefully shielded every night
Neither il the wool washed on the
animals back before shearing, as is
the case in the Eastern States 1t
therefore would not enter into comp
atition with our farm wool, but would
lrive from the market that produced
on the ranches where wool is grown
lnder similar conditions.

GovEESoR BEAVER addressed the
State Grange one evening last week
Among other statements ''he declared
that the loss Of the general revenue
bill had not been an injury to the
state. 1t had some provisions calcu
lated to increase the public revenues
but it contained others which would
have reduced them. As much would
have been lost as gained. 1t was in
order to thoroughly discuss the bill
framed by the Revenue Commission
during the Legislative inter-regnum
and to the next regular session Of the
Legislature to eliminate the obiec
,iouahle features and retain the
worthy ones. He pledged himself to
corporation in the preparation OF
legislation which would properly ad-

living in Nebraska village, Lad her

amid the gravel and dirt that was
heaped not far from it, and scratch

a nugget of very good gold, as big as
